When lightning struck Bryan, his body reacted violently, spinning him into a deep, dark place, where music couldn't be played without the help of multiple effects pedals, slides and Floyd Rose bridges. It even got so bad, he had to have a guitar with a midi cable to play some songs.

Bryan instantly became so skilled at guitar, he started playing solos for Purple Rain, Comfortably Numb, and even Every Rose Has Its Thorn! It was like his fingers each had a mind of their own, yet somehow managed to think in harmony and scales with each other!

From that day forward, he became known as "The Pedal Parader", and his sole focus in life was to shred guitar solos, stepping over vocals at every opportunity. He vowed to get revenge on Rich and Ryan for ever tempting him to pick up those steel guitars.
